Some ghosts don't want revenge. They want the truth.
When sixteen-year-old Lena Blackwood attends her grandmother's funeral, she doesn't expect to see a shadow standing watch over the casket, or feel a cold presence follow her home. But when Lena and her history-obsessed best friend, Cal, uncover a hidden set of centuries-old journals in her grandmother's attic, they realize the haunting is no accident.
The journals passed down through the women of Lena's family carry more than memories. Something lingers in their margins; the restless spirit of Alys Harrow, a woman the town once condemned and then tried to forget. Ashwick's records say nothing of her. The journals say otherwise. With every page Lena turns, the presence sharpens, gathering strength, urgency... and intent.
Now Lena must unravel a buried injustice before it consumes her, her family, and the town. In Ashwick, silence is the only thing keeping the living safe; and Alys Harrow is done being quiet.
In a town built on quiet, the dead have begun to speak. And Alys Harrow will not be hushed again.
